Vertrieb von CAMBOARD Electronics DDS 100 Chapter One Introduction About This Manual About the Scaler Features www.camboard.de Tel. 07131 911201 ce-info@camboard.de Fax 07131 911203...
About the Scaler The DDS 100 digital display scaler converts high-resolution input signals to one of several output resolutions. The scaler was designed especially for displaying images on projectors with limited display resolutions, such as LCD (liquid-crystal display) projectors, DLP (digital light processor) projectors, and plasma projectors.
Page 9
The user can specify 30 of these presets, and the remainder were set at the factory. The DDS 100 digital display scaler automatically loads the control settings from the preset associated with the scan rate of the input video signal.
NEXT RESET DDS 100 DIGITAL DISPLAY SCALER Figure 2 — DDS 100 front panel Power indicator LED — Lights to indicate that the scaler is receiving power. Vertical centering/pan control — Allows you to pan or center the image vertically. See “Adjusting an image” on page 3-5 for more information.

Troubleshooting, cont’d This section gives examples and descriptions for some problems you might encounter in using the DDS 100. The “probable solutions” are listed for ease of implementation, as well as the order of probability. For example, it’s easier to flip a switch than it is to change cables, so you may want to try the switch first.
Possible solutions Use the horizontal shift control to adjust the image toward the center of the screen. See “Adjusting an image” on page 3-5. www.camboard.de Tel. 07131 911201 ce-info@camboard.de DDS 100 Troubleshooting Fax 07131 911203...
1. Use the vertical shift control to lower the position of the image. See “Adjusting an image” on page 3-5. 2. Use separate horizontal and vertical sync output. 3. Try using a sync termination adapter (ASTA). www.camboard.de Tel. 07131 911201 ce-info@camboard.de DDS 100 Troubleshooting Fax 07131 911203...
The brightness level of the display is at or beyond the maximum level. Possible solutions 1. Make sure that the input to the display device is terminated properly (75 ohms). 2. Make sure the input to the DDS 100 is terminated properly (75 ohms). www.camboard.de Tel. 07131 911201 ce-info@camboard.de...
The sync timing and video information are locked, but are not in phase, or the display device may be locking in on the wrong edge of the sync. Possible solutions Adjust the horizontal shift on either the DDS 100 or the display device. www.camboard.de Tel. 07131 911201 ce-info@camboard.de...
